    Torque of rocker or valve cover bolts on TB48E

    Anybody know the torque settings on the TB48E valve cover bolts, sometimes referred to as the rocker cover. Have checked the Workshop manual, but TB48 in my collection do not have the torque settings, can see for the TD42 it is very low 2-3 Nm.

    Yep me and my brother have just done valve clearances and the rocker cover bolts need bugger all tension..
    I snapped one and I had stuff all force on it..
    So when you feel it getting tight stop. Lol
    And no leaks in mine so must be right..
    Cheers

    Thanks folks. Hopefully the rocker gasket is where my oil is leaking from and not my head gasket.

    Usually you'll see oil around the bolt heads

    Anyone know which of the O2 sensors plugs are bank 1 and 2, connectors are identical, and I did mark them. I have O2 sensors before cats only.
